This Photo Of A 94-Year-Old Widow Receiving Her Husband’s Remains Will Break Your Heart

Clara Gantt, the 94-year-old widow of U.S. Army Sgt. Joseph Gantt, weeps in front of her husband's casket after it was lowered from the plane before dawn on the tarmac at Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, California Dec. 20.

After six decades, 94-year-old Clara Gantt’s wait to be reunited with her husband is finally over.

Instead of welcoming him with open arms, however, Gantt was greeted Friday with a flag-draped coffin.

Army Sgt. 1st Class Joseph Gantt died as a prisoner of war in 1951 during the Korean War. He was presumed dead for more than 60 years until his remains were identified at the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command and forensics labs in Honolulu, according to NBC Los Angeles.

Despite the immeasurable pain, Clara said she was grateful to finally be together again.
